I hate you... Why didn't you make this video when I started 6 years ago? :) This is exactly the kind of lesson I was looking for.. .Simple, to the point and so freaking easy to start jamming and having fun, and actually playing the blues. Everything back then was just a little too, I don't know, "heady" for me I had trouble getting my head around them and grew frustrated to make stuff sound good. This would have started me out much less frustrating and more fun path. I am going to recommend this video whenever someone is looking to get started. Although it's 6 years too late for me, THANKS for making this great tutorial.
Everytime this dude does his "peeeew pew, peeee-pe-peeew" and then "WHAT'S GOIN' OOON GUYS" I just can't stay in bad mood. Good vibes in flesh and bone.
Mike I use to live in Marietta GA and booked music in Atlanta with Stephanie Pettiss the jazz flutist and Tom.Gross & The Varsity. My good friend is Dave Cole who has BandX in Atlanta. I now own a cigar box guitar.
Great lesson. I’ve bought several of your cigar box guitars. They are literally works of art and they sound great, too. I’m a fairly accomplished 6 string guitar player, but I don’t sound as good on a 3 string cigar box guitar. I’m really having difficulty getting a good tone with a slide. I’ve tried a number of different slides and just can’t get it right. Can you help or give me some guidance? I feel like if I can get the slide right I can really take off on the cigar box guitar.
Hi Mike, I really look forward to your videos. I'm new to the 3 string cigar box in fact I'm a total beginner and find your method of teaching easy to follow. I would really like to play Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, although I've seen a couple of versions by other guitarist,however I was wondering what your take on it was. If you can do this that would be great. Appreciate you man Stay safe Regards Elvis Southwest United Kingdom
